Description

Cryptography encompasses both high-level methods and low-level interfaces for standard cryptographic techniques, including symmetric ciphers, message digests, and key derivation functions. By utilizing the high-level symmetric encryption method provided by cryptography, users can easily perform encryption tasks. The field of cryptography is generally classified into two distinct levels: one featuring secure recipes that are straightforward to use with minimal configuration requirements, making them accessible for developers with little decision-making involved. Conversely, the other level comprises low-level cryptographic primitives that pose significant risks if misapplied, necessitating a thorough understanding of advanced cryptographic principles and careful decision-making. Due to these inherent risks, this lower tier is often labeled as the "hazardous materials" or "hazmat" layer, with relevant resources located in the cryptography.hazmat package, where documentation always includes a warning at the beginning to highlight the associated dangers. Additionally, mastering these low-level interfaces can lead to powerful custom implementations, but they demand a commitment to learning and adhering to best practices in cryptographic security.

Description

This package is designed for independent reuse across any Python project and is maintained by the Zope Toolkit initiative. It serves as an implementation of "object interfaces" within the Python ecosystem. Interfaces act as a way to designate objects as adhering to a specific API or contract, making this package a practical example of applying the Design By Contract methodology in Python. Essentially, interfaces are objects that detail (document) the expected external behavior of the objects that implement them. An interface articulates behavior through a combination of informal documentation within a docstring, attribute definitions, and invariants, which are the necessary conditions that must be satisfied by the objects implementing the interface. Attribute definitions specify particular attributes, outlining their names while offering documentation and constraints regarding the allowed values for those attributes. These definitions can take various forms, allowing for flexibility in how they are expressed. Furthermore, the ability to define interfaces enhances the clarity and reliability of code by ensuring that objects conform to specified behaviors.
